Common Core Mathematics in a PLC at Work(tm), Leader’s Guide (Common Core Mathematics in a Pla at Work)

This leader companion to the grade-level teacher guides illustrates how to sustain successful implementation of the Common Core State Standards for mathematics. Discover what students should learn and how they should learn it. Comprehensive research-affirmed analysis tools and strategies will help collaborative teams develop and assess student demonstrations of deep conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Benefits: Discover the five essential paradigm shifts necessary to implement the CCSS for mathematics. Receive guidance on forming and sustaining collaborative teams in a Professional Learning Community at Work(tm) culture. Develop a “less is more” content mindset: fewer standards will result in the opportunity of time needed for deeper rigor and conceptual understanding work with students. Gain helpful formative assessment strategies for development of student proficiency in the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Access dozens of tools, activities, examples, resources, and reproducibles to help teachers and teams analyze, interpret, and implement the Common Core Standards expectations for instruction and assessment. Examine the research-affirmed foundation of mathematics content and process standards from 1989 to 2010, and deepen your understanding of the Common Core expectations.
